How to cook deliciously - Strawberry Crunch Poke Cake

1. Stage

Preheat oven to 350°. Grease a 13"-x-9" baking pan with cooking spray. Prepare cake according to package directions.

2. Stage

Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake cake until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool.

3. Stage

Using a bamboo skewer or chopstick, poke holes all over cake, making sure not to go through to the bottom and spacing 1/2" to 1" apart.

4. Stage

In a small saucepan, bring 1/2 cup water to a boil. Add Jell-O powder; whisk until dissolved. Remove from heat and whisk in 1/2 cup cold water.

5. Stage

Pour gelatin mixture evenly over holes on cake. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours or up to overnight.

6. Stage

In a large bowl, using a handheld mixer, beat cream on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form.

In another large bowl, using handheld mixer, beat cream cheese on medium-high speed until smooth and fluffy. Add confectioners' sugar and beat until smooth, then add in vanilla and salt. Fold in whipped cream until just combined.
